Looking for information on an unknown Cantey/Canty who had a son named Jasper Newton Canty/Cantey in 1851. This unknown Cantey/Canty could have been a Sabb or Saab Cantey/Canty. Living in Georgia possibly around 1830-1851? Any information on ANY Canty/Cantey will be appreciated. Thank you.

This list is a little large for a roll so I would prefer we don't have a typical roll call!!!!!!! If you are going to post your names on the list, include the year and a little information about the people, make it a query please. A list of names without dates doesn't provide much information. Listowner

Thanks Deborah!

I came across this bit of info looking for my Hendersons in SC. It is from South Carolina Deed Abstracats 1719-1772. It is the only info I found. Book S-3, pp. 76-77 2 Feb 1770 Mortgage THOMAS YOUNG, planter, of Old Three Runs, Granville Co., to DAVID WISE, of Charleston, for lb. 148:11:6 currency, 300 a. in Granville Co., bounding W on the Old Three Runs; S on JOHN TILLY; other sides on vacant land. Witneses: HUGH MAGUIRE, WILLIAM LEE. Before GEORGE MURRAY, J.P., on 29 Dec. 1770. Recorded 11 Jan. 1771 by HENRY RUGELEY, Register.. Still searching for more info on WILLIAM YOUNG who married MARY HENDERSON c. 1783 Charleston or Savannah, and who died Screven Co, GA 1814, father Isaac Young, Jr. and mother Martha Bradley Young, whose family came over to GA with Oglethorpe in 1735.

Fellow researchers, does the following ring any bells with anyone? from South Carolina Deed Abstracts 1719-1772 Book S-3, pp. 51-55 28 February 1753 Release JAMES MOORE, planter & SARAH, his wife, to CORNELIUS ALDER, planter, both of Berkeley Co., for lb. 400 currency, 500 a. in Berkley Co., bounding on all sides on vacant land. Witnesses: MICHAEL HENDERSON, JOHN McCULLUM, JOHUSA WESBERRY. Before John Lewis Bourquin, J.P., on Nov. 1770. Recorded 8 January 1771 by Henry Rugeley, Register. I realize this is in 1753 in South Carolilna, but a clue, none the less! Fellow MOORE researchers, does this ring any bells? clueless in Fort Worth, Carole gdrexel1@airmail.net

Hello list. If anyone gets to the Screven County Superior Court Clerk's Office any time in the near future, would you mind seeing if there is anything that resembles a deed of gift in the following deed book? Deed Book P, page 52-53, supposed to be a deed of gift from MICHAEL HENDERSON to his son, WILLIAM M. HENDERSON, dated 12 Dec 1835. I found a reference to that piece of my elusive puzzle at the Statesboro Library a couple of years ago and had overlooked it. The sheet of paper on which it was written said it came from Essie Hollingsworth's files, and since those files are under lock and key at the Sceven County Library, and I am in Fort Worth, TX, it is impossible to locate. So if anyone is taking a trip to the Sceven County Courthouse, would you please look it up for me? Will be more than glad to pay for any reimbursement costs of a copy if they would let you make it and/or mailing or faxing. Thank you. This is a great list!

If I miss the finer points of the technology, please none of you techies laugh at me.... I'm harmless. But many of you may wish to do a small "operation" on your PC. A cookie is a web message that a Web Server sends to your browser when you visit a site that "sets" cookies (which is most of them). So far, with only one exception, cookies are relatively harmless. They provide marketing data to those sites that hire a "cookie setter", they count "hits", they enable a site to "recognize you" (Amazon being a good example), etc. Cookies themselves shouldn't be a matter of great concern unless you are visiting sites like "how to make anthrax for fun and profit" or something like that. Cookies themselves cannot give a third party access to your personal data, but they do store the information you may have inadvertently provided just by clicking on a site. In other instances it is possible to gather your name and address presumably to provide to advertisers. Earlier this month, a "cookie installing" company (there are only about a dozen or so of them) named DoubleClick acknowledged that it was under FTC investigation for selling to their customers a "match-up" of marketing data hooked TO INDIVIDUALS. The FTC regards this as a serious matter of privacy invasion and most web users would too. In the meanwhile, why wait on these turkeys to devise a way to circumvent a justice deparment order. Just get rid of your DoubleClick cookies BY YOURSELF. Its easy to zap your DoubleClick cookies periodically and leave all the others intact. In addition to the publicity afforded by the FTC investigation, if and when it becomes general knowledge that many, many users are zapping DoubleClick cookies obviously the "value" of DoubleClick to their customers should diminish sizably......a proposition DoubleClick richly deserves. Its simple: 1) open your Windows explorer 2) there is a file simply called "Windows", double click on it. 3) under Windows there is a directory named "cookies" 4) there will likely be a "warning" not to delete any of these files.....big deal, naturally they don't want you to delete them.....they make money selling them....ignore the implication that this deleting might somehow "harm" your computer. 5) double click on "cookies"......depending on how many sites you visit you may pop up between a dozen to several hundred "names" of cookie companies which will appear. You will recognize many of them but there will likely only be about a a dozen or so of them in total. 6) go down the list and high light the ones named "DoubleClick"...."select" them and then just merely ZAP them with "delete". 7) depending on your frame of mind repeat the operation above every once in a while 8) forward this message to a friend suggesting they might wish to perform the "fix" and advise friends on their mailing list to do so as well. In addition, you will sometimes see "DoubleClick" shown as a part of a web address if you get a page or two into a site. You might wish to tell that site that you won't be coming again because of their use of DoubleClick.

Hi Everyone, My name is Karen Hodges and I am planning a Hodges Family Reunion. This reunion is open to all descendants of Joshua Hodges, Sr. of Bulloch county and their families. It was suggested that I post information regarding the reunion to the Screven list since some descendants moved to Screven county. The reunion is scheduled for Saturday June 24, 2000. The reunion will be held at the Senior Citizens Multipurpose Room in Statesboro. All participants are asked to bring their own pinic lunch and drinks. We will begin gathering around noon. We hope to have a couple of speakers. We are also planning a couple of field trips for the afternoon. More details will be available as we get closer to the reunion. Please send all replies to this message to my email address: DalGal@csi.com. If you are interested in coming and think you might be able to make it on June 24th, please let me know so that I will know how many people are planning to attend. Please feel free to email me with any questions you might have. Thank you, Karen Hodges DalGal@csi.com

Sorry to disturb the list with this but...... I had a major computer crash recently and lost, among other things, all my e-mail and address book entries. Though I had a backup, I didn't have a recent backup of my e-mail and recent address book entries. Several of those on the list and I had been working on some issues. If you and I had been researching a name or working on something that I was suppose to get back to you about, please send me an e-mail with the info needed. I either lost the message or lost your e-mail address and can't get back to you. Thanks! Diane -- Diane P.

Does anyone have information on what Effingham Academy was as mentioned in Effingham Co. GA Deed Book? Was it a school in the area, in what county was it located? I'd appreciate any information on the Effingham Academy. If you have information please email me at jmm1682@world.att.net Maureen in CA

Does anyone have access to, or can you tell me how I might get access to, or information from, the Ordinary's Minutes for Screven County for the period oa 1811-1829. I have found several entries which I hope may give me some clue to my John Freeman who I believe died in 1799 in Screven County. The John Freeman that I am looking for "operated a toll bridge on Brier Crek, where the River Road crossed the ?????. It was destroyed during the Revolution. The location is a mile and a half below the present-day Brannen's Bridge." The children of John Freeman were: Priscilla, William, John, Sarah, Rachael, and Benjamin. The references which I found may be to his son, but I think I need to find out! I found the following references in a book titled "Screven, Minutes Court of Ordinary, Bk 1 (1811-1829), Index Only, OM" in the Public Library in San Antonio, TX.: Freeman, Abigail and John, gtd leave to sell perishable property p. 37, 40, Screven, OM Freeman, Abigail, John Freeman, Jr., gdn, p. 60, Screven, OM Freeman, James, John Freeman, gdn, p78, Screven, OM Freeman, John, decd, Thomas Colding, et al, apprs, p. 59, Screven, OM Freeman, Rachel, John Freeman, Jr. gdn, p. 57, Screven, OM Freeman, Sarah, John Freeman, Jrl, andr, p. 55, 74, John L.

My Aunt, Nora Mae Zeigler b Dec 05, 1907 and William Jake Zeigler b March 16, 1896 in Screven Cty, Ga. m May 19, 1924.His father was Richard Zeigler m.Laura J. Newton Oct. 22,1891.If this fits in your family I have more information on Nora's and Jake's family.Margaret

Fro more info on the Evans family of Screven Co Ga contact Charels E. Moore, cemo@ix.netcom.com Bill Reeves

Lewis, I've recently completed a book on both the Zeigler and Evans Families, and it is located in the Statesboro Regional Library. Anyway, I'm descended from the Zeiglers (my ancestor was Solomon Zeigler, father of Israel and my g-g-grandmother Caroline Elizabeth Zeigler Mock). Additionally, my first cousins, Joe and Larry Evans, are also descended from both of these families, so I also did the Evans Family. Hope that this helps. Happy hunting. Scottie
